Teaching Limits Using the Auto-Window Feature
Teaching the same limit twice for the same output automatically centers a 10 mm
window on the taught position.
General Notes on Programming
• The sensor will return to Run mode if the first Teach condition is not registered
within 120 seconds.
• After the first limit is taught, the sensor will remain in Program mode until the Teach
sequence is finished.
• To exit Program mode without saving any changes, press and hold the programming
push button > 2 seconds (before teaching the second limit). The sensor will revert to
the last saved program.
